Montreal, along with many other cities worldwide, is embracing sustainable mobility sharing. Such a system provides one-way and on-demand transit services using a pool of environmentally friendly vehicles, primarily in the form of electric vehicles (EV). Motivated by the challenges that struck car2go and by the vision of a sustainable and smart mobility future, this project will develop analytics, models and insights for promoting sustainable mobility sharing business models. The goal is to satisfy urban mobility demands in a shared and sustainable fashion with wise investment and profitable service operations. Prof. Qi anticipates delivering the following long-term impacts: 1) Advance the emerging inter- disciplinary field of smart-city operations management. 2) Provide managerial insights for promoting future real-world sustainable mobility sharing. 3) Connect to local car sharing companies here in Montreal to help in their ongoing effort of expanding sustainable mobility sharing in Montreal.
